About this show

Cult sci-fi comedy following a gang of space bums across the galaxy as they face shapeshifting aliens, time holes and even a monster made from mutton vindaloo. When a radiation leak wipes out the entire crew of his ship, Dave Lister wakes up three million years later to find his only companions are a life-form evolved from his cat and Arnold J Rimmer, a hologram simulation of his pedantic dead bunk-mate. Aimlessly roaming the universe, the ramshackle crew encounter danger and disaster at every turn. Can they stay alive long enough to find a way back to Earth?

One of the episodes I've watched is missing the laugh track. They apparently put the wrong one up for watching. (Season 8, episode 1: Tikka to Ride). Also, missing the specials like Smeg Ups and so forth.

A wonderful sitcom. I discovered this show as a kid in the early 90's on PBS Saturday nights at 11:30.... It stayed in my subconscious all these years came back again and now I have all the seasons on DVD. Anxiously awaiting season 11 & 12. If you love wacky British humor give this show a chance it will change you like it did to me! 😃 Smeggin Brilliant!

I've been watching this show since the late 80's. Just like to Say Thanks to PBS for Making Red Dwarf Possible for Us to watch here in the USA or I would never have known of this show Red Dwarf. I've seen every episode they have ever had so far. And, this show never gets old cause it's just that good. I purchased the full eight seasons on dvd a couple of years ago. And, season 9, and season 10 on dvd. I'm now re-purchasing all seasons on Google Play. I wanted my collection to be digitalized in the Cloud. So, I can watch any episode anytime without messing with any dvd's. And, it is Brilliant. This show "Red Dwarf" Ultimately Rocks.
